Well I'm at the library and my camera is at home so I'm going to make a second attempt at using a photo that is already on Flickr. I have found one that is not download disabled so here it goes...
Yea! I did it! Photograph by upthebanner on Flickr. Link to photo in Flickr
Wow. That was not the simplest thing I've done. I like the photo of the Grand Canyon but it is disappointing that I couldn't use the subject that I originally chose. I think Flickr takes a lot of practice and honestly I don't have that kind of free time. It may, however, be easier to do things with this if I create an account and upload my own photos. Then I don't have to worry about permission to use the pictures. I think if I were doing this for my class (as a teacher creating something for my students), that is the route I would take. I could create a Flickr account just for my class and set it up so only the students have access. I think that would provide a safe way for them to play with photos online. I wouldn't have to worry that someone would do a search for a picture of the Las Vegas Strip and end up with a picture of a half-naked woman! Well, let's give the mashups a try. I'll let you know how that goes in Thing #8.
